Item 3. Consent Agenda (5 mins) None Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE – Updated Charter for the Cross Community Working Group on Internet Governance (20 minutes) At ICANN57 in Hyderabad in November 2016, the GNSO Council approved a motion conditioning the future participation of the GNSO as a Chartering Organization of the CCWG on Internet Governance (CCWG-IG) upon a comprehensive review of the group’s Charter by the CCWG-IG, in accordance with the Framework of Uniform Principles for CCWGs that had been adopted recently by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils (http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/uniform-framework-principles-recommendation…) In its resolution, the GNSO Council had noted that the CCWG-IG’s future work is expected to be subject to a clear work plan, with regular updates and clear deliverables, and had requested that, by ICANN58, the CCWG-IG was to report on its findings, which report may include a revised charter, and the CCWG-IG was to also consider whether it will be preferable to reconstitute the group under a new structure (https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions - 20161107-3<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20161107-3>). The CCWG-IG provided a written report on its 2016 activity and a draft revised Charter for the GNSO Council’s consideration on 10th March 2017 (http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-March/019816.html) At its Public Meeting at ICANN58 in Copenhagen on 15 March 2017 and its joint meeting with the ccNSO Council on 13 March 2017, the Council engaged in a discussion with the CCWG-IG co-chairs regarding the group’s reports. At the GNSO Council’s call on 18 May 2017, the Council continued its discussion of the topic as well as during ICANN59 during which it became clear that although there is strong support to continue the GNSO’s involvement in Internet Governance, a CCWG is not considered the appropriate vehicle for such involvement. The Council discussed this motion on its 13 July 2017 call, where the vote was deferred. Here the Council will consider the motion that has been submitted in relation to this topic. 4.1 – Presentation of motion<https://community.icann.org/x/kAwhB> (Keith Drazek) 4.2 – Council discussion 4.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority) Item 5. COUNCIL VOTE – Replacement for GNSO member for the Second Security, Stability, and Resiliency of the DNS (SSR2) Review Team On 19 January 2017, the GNSO Council voted to approve its three primary candidates for the Second Security, Stability, and Resiliency Review Team (SSR2-RT). Emily Taylor, one of those three candidates, has since resigned from the SSR2-RT. The Standing Selection Committee (SSC) has been tasked with recommending a replacement candidate to be considered by the GNSO Council. Taking into account the criteria outlined in the call for volunteers, the SSC has performed its review process and selected [name] to replace Emily Taylor on the SSR2-RT. Here, the Council will vote to approve [name] as the replacement for Emily Taylor on the SSR2-RT. 5.1 – Presentation of motion<https://community.icann.org/x/kAwhB> (Johan Helsingius) 5.2 – Council discussion 5.3 – Council vote (voting threshold: simple majority) Item 6. COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Changing the Name of the GNSO (15 minutes) Some in the community have noted that as domain name are available globally, the term “generic” has certain meanings to different parts of the ICANN community, that the usage of “generic” to describe a .brand is potentially confusing, and among other reasons, that it might make sense to substitute the word “Generic” for “Global” in Generic Names Supporting Organization. To consider this change, some on the GNSO Council have suggested that a narrowly scoped Drafting Team should be formed to determine whether a change of this nature is recommended and if so, develop a proposed implementation plan to effectuate that change. Here, the Council will discuss whether it supports the premise of changing the name of the GNSO and if so, what next steps might be. 6.1 – Presentation of discussion topic (Paul McGrady) 6.2 – Council discussion 6.3 – Next Steps Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Review of the Revised ICANN Procedure for Handling Whois Conflicts with Privacy Law (20 minutes) As a result of community input and the work of the Implementation Advisory Group (IAG), ICANN made effective the revised Whois Procedure<https://whois.icann.org/en/revised-icann-procedure-handling-whois-conflicts…> on 18 April 2017 to better accommodate issues where Whois requirements conflict with applicable laws. As requested by this GNSO Council, ICANN published a paper<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/whois-privacy-conflicts-procedu…> for public comment<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/whois-privacy-law-2017-05-03-en> to provide analysis and solicit community input on the practicality and feasibility of the triggers identified in the revised Whois procedure. The public comment period was also intended to collect suggestions for moving forward with the review. The public comment period closed on 7 July 2017 and the staff report of public comments<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-whois-privacy-l…> was published on 28 July 2017. On 1 August 2017, the Council received a letter<https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/atallah-to-bladel-et-al-01aug17-en…> from Akram Attalah, providing a collection of possible options for proceeding with the review, and offering to discuss those options or others identified by Council. Here, the Council will discuss options for moving forward with the review of the Whois Procedure. 7.1 – Update on current status (GNSO Council chairs) 7.2 – Council Discussion 7.3 – Next Steps Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – PLANNING FOR ICANN60 (10 minutes) During ICANN59, the proposed block schedule for ICANN60 was shared (https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/icann60-draft-prelim-block-schedule-27jun1…) – note that further updates have been made as a result of the SO/AC Planning Committee and the resulting cross-community session selections. Based on requests received to date from the different GNSO PDP WGs, CCWGs WGs, and cross community session landscape, the Council leadership has revised its draft GNSO schedule for Council input and review, available here. Following Council review, this draft GNSO schedule will again be shared with the GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies to facilitate their planning and scheduling. 8.1 - Update on planning for ICANN60 (Council leadership) 8.2 – Council discussion 8.3 – Next steps Item 9: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (5 minutes) 9.1 – Report from chairs on our call with Subsequent Procedures (“SubPro”) PDP co-chairs, regarding the creation of Work Track 5 (WT5) 9.2 – Update from CCWG-ACCT WS2 ________________________________ Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article 11, Section 11.3(i)) See https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article11.

FW: [soac-chairs] Status regarding appointment of new chair and vice chair of SSAC
by James M. Bladel Aug. 14, 2017

Aug. 14, 2017

Councilors, FYI - Please see below for a message from Patrik on the new SSAC leadership selection. The incoming Chair and Vice Chair will take office at the beginning of the year (2018). I will convey our congratulations on behalf of the GNSO to Rod and Julie, and express our gratitude to Patrik and Jim for their work over the years (and the next few months remaining in their term). Thank you, J. ------------------ James Bladel GNSO Chair On 8/13/17, 15:09 , "soac-chairs-bounces(a)icann.org on behalf of Patrik Fältström" <soac-chairs-bounces(a)icann.org on behalf of paf(a)frobbit.se> wrote: All, This is for your information. We in SSAC do appoint chair and vice chair on three year terms. The current term ends December 31, 2017. We have in SSAC have finalized our selection process, and for your information we have selected Rod Rasmussen and Julie Hammer as chair and vice chair. The next step is that ICANN Board formally will make the appointment of the chair at the board meeting at ICANN61. And of course after that on January 1 2018 the new chair and vice chair start their term. Because of this, although you might have heard rumors of the selection, the actual announcement(s) we will make more broadly at next ICANN meeting after the appointment process formally is finalized and of course when the new chair and vice chair start their term. Until then myself and Jim Galvin continue to lead SSAC just like the last couple of years. Patrik Fältström SSAC Chair

Fwd: Note on Work Track 5
by Heather Forrest Aug. 9, 2017

Aug. 9, 2017

Dear colleagues, Jeff's email below deals with some of the questions raised here on the list about SubPro WT5. James, Donna and I can update further after we talk with the SubPro leadership tomorrow. Best wishes, Heather ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeff Neuman <jeff.neuman(a)comlaude.com> Date: Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 5:49 AM Subject: Note on Work Track 5 To: "James Bladel (jbladel(a)godaddy.com)" <jbladel(a)godaddy.com>, Heather Forrest <haforrestesq(a)gmail.com>, "Austin, Donna" <Donna.Austin(a)team.neustar > Cc: avri doria <avri(a)apc.org>, Steve Chan <steve.chan(a)icann.org>, Emily Barabas <emily.barabas(a)icann.org>, Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund(a)icann.org>, Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org> All, It seems that there have been a number of questions on the operation and establishment of Work Track 5 on the GNSO Council Mailing list. I am not able to post on that list, but ask that this be forwarded. I have not run this response by Avri, but I would hope she agrees. According to the GNSO Working Group Guidelines, found at https://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/gnso-working-group-guidelines-final- 10dec10-en.pdf, Section 2.3 states: *“2.3. Use of Sub-Teams * *The WG may decide to employ sub-teams as an efficient means of delegating topics or assignments to be completed. Sub-team members need to have a clear understanding of issues they work on as well as the results to be achieved. The members of sub-teams report their results to whole working group for review and approval. The WG should indicate whether or not it would like to have meetings of the sub-team recorded and/or transcribed. * *Any member of the WG may serve on any sub-team; however, depending upon the specific tasks to be accomplished, the Chair should ensure that the sub-team is properly balanced with the appropriate skills and resources to ensure successful completion. It is recommended that the sub-team appoints a co-ordinator who heads up the sub-team and is responsible for providing regular progress updates to the Working Group.* *There is no need for formal confirmation by the CO or WG of such a co-ordinator. * *The lifespan of a sub-team should not extend beyond that of the Working Group. Decisions made by sub-teams should always be shared with the larger working group and a call for consensus must be made by the entire WG. “* This is what Avri and I are doing. We are setting up a “Sub Team” which we are calling a “Work Track.” Other than the last sentence of ensuring that all decisions go to the larger working group, there are no other restrictions on the operation of a Sub Team. Therefore, we believe that the choice of leadership, how meetings are conducted, the name of the group, membership, etc. is at our (the co-chair’s) discretion. Yes, all of the recommendations from this Work Track will of course go to the full Working Group, just as they will for all of the other Work Tracks. On the question of whether this will set a precedent on how Sub Teams will be used in the future, I will leave that to the folks who look back at this time period in 15 years or so. But if it works and strengthens the multi-stakeholder process, while still having it operate under the rubric of the GNSO, would that not be a positive precedent? I appreciate the Council interest in this and encourage you all to bring that enthusiasm to Work Track 5. Please let me know if you have any other questions. *Jeffrey J. Neuman* *Senior Vice President *|*Valideus USA* | *Com Laude USA* 1751 Pinnacle Drive, Suite 600 Mclean, VA 22102, United States E: *jeff.neuman(a)valideus.com <jeff.neuman(a)valideus.com>* or *jeff.neuman(a)comlaude.com <jeff.neuman(a)comlaude.com>* T: +1.703.635.7514 <(703)%20635-7514> M: +1.202.549.5079 <(202)%20549-5079> @Jintlaw
